Pakistani Man Who Allegedly Filmed Sister's 'Honor' Killing Arrested

A Pakistani man who allegedly filmed his brother strangling their sister to death has been arrested as part of the latest "honor" killing that has outraged the country, police said on March 31. Maria Bibi, 22, was killed on March 17, allegedly by her brother Muhammad Faisal and in the presence of her father, Abdul Sattar, in Punjab Province. A video filmed by the woman's other brother, Shehbaz, appears to show Faisal strangling her on a bed in the family home while their father sat nearby. Much of Pakistani society operates under a strict "code of honor," with women beholden to male relatives over choices around education, employment, and marriage.
